tions.

A further object is to provide a single means for holding the severallamps in their 'disks on said socket-member.

adjusted positions.

Another object is to provide means for adjustably supporting a lampshade with respect to the lamps.

l attain these objects, as well as others not specifically stated, bymeans of the construction, arrangement and combination of partshereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings ing my invention;

Figure l is a front elevation of a support cmborilying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation of the adjustable mounting; and

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view partly in section on the line 3-3of F 2.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a standard which may be supportedin any suitable manner, as, for example, by the base 2 shown in F g. 1.The standard is formed of two tubular sections or parts hav ing' theiradjacent ends secured, at diametrically opposite points, toa ring-liken1emher or casing 4-, which member constitutes a socket for theadjnstable lamp supporting illnstrat-' arms 5. Flexible wires W extendthrough the standard 1 and the arms 5, as shown in ll igj. 3, to carrythe current to the lamps L.

The arms 5 are substantially tl-shaped and are mounted in nipples 6formed on the pair of oppositely located disks 7. Said disks areprovided with annular flanges 8 disposed adjacent their marginal edges,and which into the socket member at, as seen in Fig. 3, so as to permitof rotation of the The disks are perforated axially to receive a bolt 9,hav ing a knurled head 10 which abut-s against one of the pair of disksand nut ll. which abuts against the other. The boltand nut serve to holdthe lamp carrying arms adjustably in position. i

A rod 12 fits telescopically into the upper part of the standard 1 andis provioed with a collar 13 to support the usual lamp shade (notshown). A collar is rigidly mounted on the upper end of the standard 1and carries a thumbscrew 15 which" impinges against the rod 12 so as tohold the lamp shade at any desired elcvation'within the range ofadjustment of the rod.

As illustrated in Fig. l the inverted shaped arms face or extend inopposite directions with the two lamps'L lying on opposite sides of thestandard 1. in the era treme upper or lower adjusted position of thearms the ends thereof will strike against the sides of the standard,thus'limiting the range of adjustment of each arm to an arc of slightlyless than 180. This prevents the arms from being accident; lly turned tosuch an extent as to break the feed wires.

It will be noted that by loosening; the nut 11 the disksjl, which carrythe lamp sup porting arms, may be turned so as to adjust the lamps inditterent angular positions relative to the standard or to each other.lit will also be observed that either lamp may be adjusted independentlyof the other and that the single nut 11 serves to maintain both lamps intheir adjusted positions,

Various changes and modifications may be made in tho CZ-nnbination andarrangement of parts herein described, Without departing from the scopeof my invention as pointed out in the claims.

Whatl claim is:

' 1. In an electric light support. a standard provided with a ringdikemember, a pair of disks revolubly mounted on opposite sides of saidmember, J-shapcd lamp supporting arms secured to" said disks, said armsbeing disposed on opposite sides of the standard so to engage the latterand be restricted in their movement thereby, and a bolt extendingaxially through the disks and ring-like member and having a not forclau'ipingly l'lolding the disks against said member.

In an electric light support, a standard, a member carried by thestandard below the top thereof, a pair of disks mounted on op relationthereto, lamps carried. by the disks,

and. u, singlu means for holding both 0f the disks against turningmovement.

3. in an electric light support, a hollow humlm'd a ring likc membercarried by the standard, hollow lamp carrying arms, disks supportingsaid arms and mounted on 0pposite sides of said member, means to{uljustably secure the disks to said member, and lamp Wires passingthrough the standard and ring-film member into the arms of 10 the disk.
